dc.description.abstractThe fragility of the human condition in relation to disaster centres on the idea that disasters are simply unavoidable extreme physical events produced by the complex mix of social, political, and economic forces that produce vulnerability of people to hazardous environments. Depending on the nature of the hazard and the socio-cultural context, different groups are more vulnerable than others. Important here is the focus on human agency as expressed in culturally reinforced social practice. That is, the specific things people do, situated in time and space, affect their vulnerability to various kinds of natural hazards. Therefore, in order to effectively address issues of sustainable development in areas that are susceptible to disaster there is the need for the identification of factors that are indicative of social vulnerability (SV) in such societies. Hence, the need for this paper, which examines the indicators of social vulnerability and sustainable development in developing areas like Nigeria susceptible to disaster.
